DOOMED DUDES.
4 Couple OF st. Louis Young Men
Left Laaghahly in the Lureh-
How it Happened.

Two young St Louis .'bloods,"
accompanying a couple of young
ladies were On the 3 o'clock C. & 4.
train that came into the Union Depot
here yesterday afternoon. The two
young men left the train and went
owe to the Ferris Hotel lunch coun-
ter, bought something to eat and
then went across the street to VIM.
Bedel's place, where they became
engaged in conversation, and forget
ting themselves, let the train pull out
without them. When they reached
the depot the south bound train was
standing on the track where their
train had stood, and not noticing the
difference, the young gentlemen got
aboard. and after going through and
not finding their companions thought
to inquire if they were on the right
train. By the time the mistake was
discovered, the 8 o'clock train was
four CT five miles west of this city,
separating the party at the rate OF
nearly a mile a minute. After a mo-
ments conversation, superintendent
Gray was t~elegraphed and was offer
ed $50 to catch the departing train
with an engine. Gray telegraped
that he couldn't do it. The Offer
was raised to SIS, and finally 500,
but at this time the train had reached
Higbee, too far away to overtake, and
the young men came down town il
disgust, and, as their train was the
last one, had to wait until midnigh'
to get west. The party was bound
for Topeka, and it is not learned
whether the ladies waited in Kansas
City for their gentlemen friends, o.
went on without them.
